We rebuilt the color-space evaluation pattern from scratch, and put in one place everything an end-user or professional evaluator needs. ?The problems of artifacts caused by color conversion and video processing remain as relevant as ever for HDR and UHD, but HDR adds exciting new problems to all the old ones. ?We?ve created the very best single pattern for evaluating which color space to output from your UHD player or set-top box,? said Spears.
USING SPEARS AND MUNSIL PLUS
The disc includes new editions of some favorite patterns from the earlier editions, plus many new patterns exclusive to Spears & Munsil. ?We believe this disc completely changes the game for test and evaluation discs, by making use of all of the features and range that HDR and wide-gamut standards can offer.? Almost every pattern is encoded in multiple versions, with metadata and peak levels adjusted for a wide variety of HDR display technologies. ?Every pattern has been rethought with High Dynamic Range and UltraHD in mind,? said co-creator Stacey Spears. The Spears & Munsil UHD HDR Benchmark gives professionals and amateurs alike access to a wealth of test and demonstration materials to tell them what their displays are doing, identify weak links in their hardware and software, and dial in the optimal settings not only for their equipment, but for future equipment that hasn?t even been designed yet. The Spears & Munsil UHD HDR Benchmark adds even more features and patterns, and brings Spears & Munsil?s famous precision and attention to detail to the calibration and evaluation of UHD displays. The New York Times, and many leading industry publications have recommended previous versions of the Benchmark. Seattle, WA?July 1, 2019?Stacey Spears and Don Munsil, acclaimed creators of the Spears & Munsil High Definition Benchmark series, are pleased to announce the release of the Spears & Munsil UHD HDR Benchmark.
